Sounds like they will have gotten the command crew as well if the command post was killed. Just like pilots these guys can not be replaced easily because of the training and by now experience they have with these systems.
Wow, that is huge. Taking out at least the radar and a launch vehicle, and some reports saying more. Nice work!

Woops… that’s an entire S400 battery. And if it was deployed, that probably includes the command staff and radar technicians.
That’s ~$0.5bn worth of kit for the cost of $3-4m worth of missiles.

*This is the way*
Dont want to be rhe asshole but russia hast tons of s-300 launchers and also plenty of s-400 launchers. So yes ukraine destroyed maybe 4-6 batteries in the last few months. But russia has around 40ish s400 batteries and 200+ s300 batteries?
What air defence doin? lol
That thing looks like when you accidentally turn the toast dial all the way up.
